The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that a resurfacing of Palatine Road from Northwest Highway (U.S. 14), in Palatine, to Milwaukee Avenue (U.S.45/Illinois 21), in Wheeling, will begin, weather permitting, April 8.

In order to complete the work, Palatine Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction during the daytime hours. The project is expected to be complete by November.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
